I believe that it should be obvious to my therapist that I can move on only when my mind will allow. Forcing myself would be fake and, ultimately, more damaging than helpful.
Gentle bear hugs to you, Fuzzy.

I keep thinking 'move on' is the wrong idea. I've been aiming more to 'move with'. It feels more respectful of my past.
